In a move apparent to implementation of the Supreme Court ruling of February 28, 2025, recognizing the Speaker Amaewhule led Assembly as the authentic state House of Assembly, Governor Siminalayi Fubara has invited RT. Hon Martins Chike Amaewhule and his 26 other lawmakers loyal to the FCT Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike for a crucial meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Monday.
An invitation letter from the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) dated March 7 and signed by the SSG, Chief (Dr) Tammy Wenike Danagogo referenced the governor’s March 5 letter, in which he acknowledged receipt of the Supreme Court’s judgment.
“And he has, therefore, directed to invite you and your colleagues, the Honourable members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, to a meeting,” the invitation stated.
The agenda includes discussions on providing a suitable space for the Assembly’s sittings; settling outstanding remuneration and allowances; presenting the budget and addressing other matters vital to the state’s progress.
The lawmakers have been requested to meet with the governor at his office on Monday, March 10, at 10 a.m.
